As we inch ever so closer to launch, new Cyberpunk 2077 info has started to crop up all over the internet. A lot of it is merely speculation but, occasionally, something slightly more concrete appears.

Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t need to paint everything in neon – the glow-up of the RPG is clear to see. Over the last decade the entire genre has undergone a steady but significant transformation that’s worth taking a moment to celebrate.

Traditionally in triple-A game development, a story was simply a thing to wrap around a series of events. In games such as Uncharted, the story would tie the set-pieces together. As our medium evolves, this is becoming an archaic way of working and writers are embedded on projects from the outset.

Last year CD Projekt said that Cyberpunk 2077 couldn’t be completed as a pacifist. However, because of feedback from the E3 2018 demo, you can now finish the entire game without touching a hair on anyone’s head.

Update: After the Ubisoft and Square Enix conferences from last night, we’ve updated this page to include a few of the upcoming releases that were announced at the show. Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about the bank-breaking £260 1st Class Edition edition of the Final Fantasy 7 remake! Yikes!

It’s been a wild year for VG247, so to celebrate we’re going to be republishing some of our favourite work published in 2018 – opinion pieces, features, and interviews, that we’ve enjoyed writing and reading, and which we believe showcase some of our best work. Enjoy!
